Derby Visit

Last Friday at 5pm I decided to head to Kansas for the weekend to hang out.  It was a very relaxing trip filled with fishing in the morning, 4 lbs. of tuna steaks, raking, taboo, and napping.  On the way home I was thinking about how lucky I was to not get a speedy ticket with ALL of the miles I have been driving since April when I moved to Arkansas.  These thoughts soon came to an end when I saw the lights in my rear view mirror and realized I was being pulled over.  The cop clocked me at 20 miles over the speed limit but only gave me a ticket for 9 over which came to a whopping $80.00.  It could have been a LOT worse.  Looks like I will be taking my time on the way home to Minny next week :) 

Derrick has a CD in his truck that is track after track of guys using their duck calls.  Here is a glimpse (if you close your eyes you would think you were in the middle of a gathering).  And I wish I would have taped what we saw on the sidewalk that is referenced in the video.  Let's just saw it looked like a red headed/bearded leprechaun on a tractor going down the sidewalk.












Jack took a snoozer.




Jaden marked our spot.













Jack found one of his lures, just not in the most favorable spot. 








Jack and Jaden are absolutely hilarious.  Very refreshing.


















This guy had a stone fence around his ranch, which wasn't the standard acre lot.












The guy in the middle is duck hunting in his PJ's.




Horse apples.


We got up at 6:45 both Saturday and Sunday to fish.  Saturday was not successful as 60 mph winds make it hard to cast out a worm or crankbait.  I was glad to have a sweater that doubled as a scarf as well.  Sunday was beautiful. Those are the pictures above. Us girls out fished the boys by # but not by size. 








Jack got a catfish by the tail...





Cuddling up with a bulldog is very similar to cuddling up with 4 sand bags.
